Doug just said in another thread that he was looking for Phoenix in the new images and couldn't find it. Well, I love a challenge. So here it is:
Close-up: (REMOVED - SEE LATER POST) Context: (REMOVED - SEE LATER POST) Note that map-projected HiRISE images at this latitude are in polar stereographic projection, not a cylindrical projection. North is at the left. You might not believe this, but by blinking layers like Clyde Tombaugh I think I can match numerous points, not just the hardware. EDIT: I was a bit off. Correct locations are shown below. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

 For your perusal, here is an high resolution picture showing the Phoenix lander during winter, made from the sum-up of MRO's images ESP_014103_2485_RED.NOMAP.jp2 and ESP_014393_2485_RED.NOMAP.jp2 .It seems that the lander has lost its "symmetrical" look... (a damaged/collapsed solar panel ?) and that this effect is real and not a processing artifact.

Super resolution isn't really going to work with two push broom images. You're likely introducing more artefacts than improvements. It looks less sharp and phoenix less obvious than the orig two images I'm afraid. So drawing any conclusion from it is unwise
